Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"

Secession is a nice idea, but merging into Canada is a nonstarter.
Canada is 40 million people, New York is 20 million. That kind of influx would be insane to manage. And that’s just one state…
I can only think of east/west Germany as the closes parallel and they are still merging the halves.

Dixie flags are usually a dog whistle for racism

Unfortunately, ideology is like halitosis: it’s always someone else’s problem. Showing how a position is “allowing you to participate in your own oppression” (my definition of ideology) can seem impossible or require great skill.
Emotionally, a lot of people seem to need a leader not a representative. I wonder how much is culture and ideology, and how much is evolutionary.
We like sweets, too, and learn to do without. I believe we can do the same by suppressing leaders and thus managing the Sociopath in Power problem.

Let's start with something smaller - Vermont is cool, they can come over (PS Bring Bernie).

Ford’s “smile” masks the grim reality of trade wars hurting everyday citizens on both sides. Effectively summarizes the stakes and implications of Ford's actions.

Thanks. I was just mentioning it for fun. I definitely wasn't insinuating that. /s

That's why I advocate for anarchism.
Take the power away to coerce people.

Did you mean "unintuitive?"
Intuitive means it feels right.

I wish we weren't pinning our hopes on angry mobs. But you play the hand you are delt.

Yeah, I'm an Anarchist as well
So that's what I basically described here ;-)
Or at least a form of it -
That works until their shit gets burned.
When the only things left to buy have to be built with hands and eyes, they will have to share the wealth with the rest of us.

The great depression had the bonus march. They camped in front of the white house and were dispersed with tear gas and cavalry charge led by Douglas MacArthur.

I just don't know how a grown up and educated human can still look for a leader in its life
I'm in favour of a primus inter pares concept, so I do get, that I give off responsibility in some parts of my life to people, who just do it better.
Like, I'm not really good with mechanical stuff, others are. So it's better that they do it.
But I'm rather good with computer stuff, so we help each other out.I just don't see the need for a kindergartner in a society of grown ups.
Problem is, that we're currently lacking education in quite some parts, so many people never really get to actually grow up and need to rely on other people, because they never knew better.
This sounds a bit derogatory, but that's the only way I can image, why people want to have a "strong" leader above them - they just don't want to take responsibility. -
Trump is "gambling with lives." He's "gambling with World War III." He's "showing major disrespect for the country, our country."
He should say sorry. I haven't heard him tell us "thank you" for anything this entire time.

Ah, yeah, thanks.
Auto correct fucked me over...

Do you mean American?
